We need to make sure they all understand that this is a different Northeastern than it was 20 years ago.

There appears to have been a number of discussions held between Telstra and the Government which really should have been made public.

That is not their job at all. Their job is to keep all shareholders fully informed and the Government is just one shareholder out of 1.6 million and no shareholder should get any information before any other shareholder.

When he speaks on this subject, the Prime Minister has to make it clear which hat he is wearing ? that of regulator, shareholder or leader of a government.

The Prime Minister's comments have been unhelpful. He has no more right to call for the Telstra directors to talk up the interests of the company than the Telstra board has a right to talk down the interests of the company. The directors must tell it as they see it. If they are subsequently found to be misleading the market, they will be held accountable.

So there is a clear breach, in my view, of the disclosure provisions and that is the fault of the Telstra board, and I suspect probably the fault of the Government.

If I'm at the office, I can get an e-mail on my computer with a voice mail that somebody left for me at home.
